Definitions
- the invention relates to a process for controlling the operating cycle of an internal combustion engine in accordance with the preamble to Claim 1, and an internal combustion piston engine for carrying out said process in accordance with the preamble of Claim 11.
- Internal combustion piston engines of four-stroke type are today the predominant type of power unit for motor vehicles, especially passenger cars. Most internal combustion piston engines are subjected to widely varying conditions of load and rpm. For passenger car engines, the conditions vary greatly between congested city traffic and highway driving involving rapid acceleration and high speeds with a fully loaded automobile on uphill grades. In order to fulfill acceleration and top speed requirements, the automobile engine must be .excessively overdimensioned in respect to power requirements for normal driving.
- the purpose of the present invention is to provide a process and an internal combustion piston engine which makes possible smaller engine dimensions and driving close to the efficiency maximum during the greater portion of the torque and optimum range with improved vehicle acceleration and top speed at the same time as less fuel is consumed and a significant reduction in the emission of harmful exhaust is achieved.
- This is achieved by a process which is characterized by the features disclosed in the characterizing clause of Claim 1, and with an engine which is characterized by the features disclosed in the characterizing clause of Claim 11.

- the engine block 3 carries a crankshaft 4, mounted in the manner which is described in more detail below.
- the engine 1 has one or more cylinders, but the number of cylinders is essentially irrelevant to the invention, and therefore no specific number will be disclosed.
- the engine 1 is provided with an intake system 5 and an exhaust system 6, which are only shown partially here. Both the intake system 5 and the exhaust system 6 are of course each connected to the cylinders of the engine 1.
- the engine intake system 5 includes an air charger 7 for feeding air into the engine 1.
- the air charger 7 takes in air through an intake opening 8, which is provided with an air filter 9.
- the air charger 7 usually takes in surrounding atmosphere air, but it is also conceivable to provide the air charger 7 with air of another temperature or of another pressure.
- the air charger 7 does not need to be provided with air of normal composition; rather, it is also conceivable to provide the air charger 7 with a gas or gas mixture of another composition, possibly mixed with fuel.
- air will be used and this term is considered to encompass the above-described variations as well.
- the air charger 7 is driven by a drive means 10, which is shown with dash dot lines in Fig. 1 and is in turn driven by the crankshaft 4.
- the drive means 10 drives a drive wheel 11 which is fixed to a shaft 12 in the air charger 7.
- the drive means 10 can consist of any known drive means, for example a chain, a toothed belt or the like.
- the power transmission between the crank ⁇ shaft 4 and the shaft 12 in the air charger 7 can consist of a gear transmission or any other type of power trans- mission, which provides, as does the means shown, a fixed transmission ratio between the crankshaft 4 and the shaft 12.
- the engine 1 also comprises a displacement device 13, which makes it possible to change the distance between the rotational axis 4a of the crankshaft 4 and the cylinder head 2. By changing this distance, the com ⁇ pression ratio of the engine 1 is changed, and this will be described in more detail below.
- the engine 1 is also provided in the cylinder head 2 with a valve mechanism 14 which is indicated schematically in Fig. 1 and will be described in more detail below.
- the valve mechanism 14 is driven, in the embodiment shown in Fig. 1, by the crankshaft 4, which drives a drive means 15 in the form of a chain or the like.
- the chain 15 drives a sprocket 16 on an intermediate shaft 17.
- the intermediate shaft 17 also carries a secondary sprocket 18, which drives a secondary chain 19, which in turn drives a sprocket 20, which is joined to a transmission gear 21 in the valve mechanism 14.
- the engine 1 also has a frame 22, which surrounds the engine block 3 and supports the entire engine 1 in a manner which will be described in more detail below.
- the frame 22 is intended to be solidly mounted in a vehicle, for example, and a clutch or gear box can be fixed to the frame 22 in the known manner.
- Fig. 2 shows the engine according to Fig. 1 in a smaller scale, and also shows a control system for controlling the operating cycle of the engine 1.
- the control system comprises a control unit 23, to which a number of sensors are connected for feeding values of various parameters to the control unit 23, and a number of regulating means, which receive signals from the control unit 23 to regulate the various functions of the engine.
- regulating means 24 for adjusting the compression ratio of the engine and providing signals to the control unit 23 corresponding to the current value of the compression ratio.
- regulating means 25 for adjusting the amount of air provided by the air charger and for providing signals to the control unit 23 corre ⁇ sponding to the current stage of the regulating means 25.
- a regulating means 26 for setting the valve mechanism 14 and for sending signals to the control unit 23 as to the current setting of the regulating means 26.
- a sensor 27 for providing signals concerning the current rpm of the engine
- a sensor 28 for providing signals concerning the current position of a gas pedal 29 or other accelerator in the vehicle, in which the engine 1 is mounted.
- a sensor 30 for providing signals corresponding to pressure and/or temperature of the ambient air
- a sensor 31 for providing signals corre- sponding to pressure and/or flow speed in the intake system 5.
- the control unit 23 is also coupled to an ignition system for the engine, indicated schematical- ly in Fig. 2 by a spark plug 32, and a fuel supply unit 33 for supplying fuel to the engine 1. The function of these regulating means and sensors will be described in more detail below.
- Figs. 2-4 show the charging unit 7 in section.
- the shaft 12 is mounted in a housing 34 and carries a circular cylindrical rotor 35, which is provided with a plurality of radial slots for vanes 36, displaceable radially in the slots.
- a sealing means 37 At the radially outer end of each vane 36, there is a sealing means 37 which is designed to provide a seal between each vane 36 and the housing 34.
- the housing 34 there is a fixed cylindrical wall 38, against the interior side of which the sealing means 37 acts.
- the cylindrical wall 38 is provided with perfora ⁇ tions 39 over a portion of its surface.
- the housing 34 is provided with an intake duct 40, to which the intake conduit 8 is connect- ed.
- the perforations 39 allow air into the interior of the housing 15, and the cylinder wall 38 is also provided with an outlet opening 41 which leads to an outlet duct 42 in the housing 34.
- the outlet duct 42 is in turn connected to the intake system 5.
- the regulating means 25 can consist of, for example, a drive gear in engagement with teeth on the exterior of the shell (not shown in Fig. 3).
- the movement of the shell 43 will to a greater or lesser extent expose the perforations 39 to allow air from the intake duct 42 to enter the in- terior of the housing 34.
- the vanes 36 seal, on one hand, against the interior surface of the cylindrical wall 38, and, on the other hand, against the end walls of the housing 34, thus defining separate air chambers 44, in each of which a predetermined amount of air is transported from the intake duct 40 to the outlet duct 42. During this journey, the air enclosed in an air chamber 44 is subjected to changes in its state, varying in response to the position of the shell 43.
- Fig. 3 shows the shell 43 in a position, where the per ⁇ forations 39 are exposed and opened to the inlet duct 40. This means that the air chamber 44 will not be closed off before the rear vane 36 in the rotational direction has passed all of the perforations 39. The volume in the air chamber 44 is at that point at its maximum, and continued rotation of the rotor 35 compresses the air until the air chamber 44 opens to the outlet 41 and the outlet duct 42.
- the engine 1 also comprises a displace ⁇ ment device 13, which makes it possible to adjust the engine compression ratio.
- the displacement device 13 is best shown in Figs. 4 and 5.
- Figs. 4 and 5 show one of the engine cylinders 45, in which a piston 46 is disposed for reciprocal movement.
- the piston 46 is connected by means of a piston rod 47 (shown as a heavy dash dot line in Figs. 4 and 5) to the crankshaft .
- a combustion chamber 48 As well as inlet and outlet ducts for gas exchange therein.
- a valve 50 which is in turn controlled by means of the valve mechanism 14 in a manner which will be described in more detail below.
- crankshaft 4 is mounted for rotation in crankshaft bearings in the engine block 3.
- Each crankshaft bearing comprises an adjustment disc 51, 52 or 53, as can be seen in Fig. 5.
- Each of the adjustment discs 51, 52, and 53 is provided with a bearing opening 54, 55 or 56, respect ⁇ ively, and the crankshaft 4 is mounted for rotation in these bearing openings.
- the bearing openings 54, 55 and 56 are excentrically disposed in the adjustment discs 51, 52 and 53, and are in turn mounted for rotation in the bearing openings 57, 58 and 59, respectively, in the engine block 3.
- the adjustment discs 51 and 53 located at the ends of the engine are also equipped with bearing races 60 and 61, respectively, which are arranged concentrically with the rotational axis 4a of the crankshaft 4.
- bearings 62 and 63 there are bearings 62 and 63, respectively, which bearings are fitted into bearing apertures 64 and 65, respectively, in the end plates 66 and 67, respectively, of the frame 22, which thereby, via the adjustment discs 51 and 53, carries the entire engine.
- the adjustment discs 51, 52 and 53 are provided with toothed segments 68, 69 and 70, respectively, which are concentric with the bearing openings 57, 58 and 59, respectively, in the engine block 3.
- the toothed segments 68, 69 and 70 are in engagement with gears, one of which is shown at 71 in Fig. 4, and a hollow regulator shaft 72, which is mounted for rotation in the engine block 3.
- the regulator shaft 72 is made as a part of a hydraulic rotational cylinder and constitutes a portion of the regulating means 24 which was described above with refer ⁇ ence to Fig. 2.
- the axis 4a of the crankshaft 4 will be displaced relative to the engine block 3 and the cylinder head 2. In the embodiment shown, this is done by the engine block 3 and the cylin ⁇ der head 2 being displaced relative to the crankshaft 4, while the rotational axis 4a of the crankshaft 4 is fixed relative to the frame 22.
- the adjustment discs 51, 52 and 53 are turned, the rotational axis 4a is displaced relative to the surface of the cylinder head 2 which lies adjacent the combustion chamber 48 in the cylinder 45. This means that the upper end position of the piston 46 is changed, which in turn changes the volume of the combustion chamber 48 when the piston 46 is in its upper end position.
- the compression ratio of the engine 1 is thus changed.
- the compression ratio of the engine 1 is thus changed.
- a device to keep the drive means 15 for driving the valve mechanism 14 tight is shown schematically in Fig. 1 and comprises a compensation pulley 73 on each side of the crankshaft 4.
- the drive means 15 runs over the com ⁇ pensator pulleys 73, which are each mounted in the middle of an individual arm 74.
- One end of each arm 74 is pivoted at a point 75 which is fixed relative to the crankshaft 4, while the other point of each arm 74 is pivoted to a point 76 which is moveable together with the engine block 3 and the cylinder head 2.
- valve mechanism 14 was mentioned. This is shown in more detail in Figs. 6-10.
- the valve mechanism 14 is driven, as was stated above, by a power transmission arrangement, which is driven by the engine crankshaft 4. As was described above, this power transmission arrangement drives a transmission gear 21, which in turn drives two cam shafts 77 and 78, respect- ively, with the aid of two drive gears 79 and 80, respectively, which are only indicated schematically in Fig. 6.
- the cam shafts 77 and 78 are each provided with an invididual cam means 81 and 82, respectively, and these cam means act on an intermediate means 83, which in turn acts on a valve opener 84, which directly affects the valve 50.
- Figs. 8-10 show a valve mechanism which differs from the valve mechanism 14 shown in the other Figures by virtue of the fact that the valves 50 in each cylinder are arranged at an angle to each other.
- This design is primarily intended for an engine with four valves per cylinder, but the same general design can also be used in an engine with two valves per cylinder.
- cam shafts 77a and 78a which correspond to the cam shafts 77 and 78 in Fig. 1
- cam shafts 77b and 78b for the valves 85 set at an angle to the first valves 50 (see Figs. 9 and 10) .
- Fig. 9 and 10 show a valve mechanism which differs from the valve mechanism 14 shown in the other Figures by virtue of the fact that the valves 50 in each cylinder are arranged at an angle to each other.
- This design is primarily intended for an engine with four valves per cylinder, but the same general design can also be used in an engine with two valves per cylinder.
- the drive gears 79a, 80a are arranged on splined portions 86a and 87a, respectively, on the cam shafts 77a and 78a, respectively.
- the splines on the spline portions 86a and 87a are arranged at a relatively small predetermined pitch angle relative to the longitudinal axis of the respective cam shaft 77a, 78a.
- the splines in the embodiment shown in Fig. 8 have different pitch orientations, but, alternatively, the splines can have the same orientation.
- the lead angles are chosen to provide the desired pattern of movement of the valve 50, as will be described in more detail below.
- the drive gears 79a, 80a are in engagement with the transmission gear 21, which, as can be seen in Fig. 7, has a length which corresponds to the length of the splined portions 86a, 87a.
- cam shafts 77a, 78a also complies, in a corresponding manner, to the cam shafts 77b, 78b.
- a yoke 88 (see Fig. 7), which embraces the drive gears 79, 80 and at the same time permits them to rotate.
- the yoke 88 can be displaced forwards and backwards by means of the regulating means 26 (not shown in Figs. 7-10), which can be a hydraulic or automatic actuator or other mechanical adjustment means of suitable type.
- the two end positions for the drive gears 79, 80 are shown in Fig. 8, one end position being shown at the upper portion of the Figure, while the other end position is shown at the lower portion.
- Figs. 9 and 10 show a valve mechanism according to the invention in various positions. Fig.
- FIG. 9 shows the valve 50 at the moment when it starts to open, with the cam shafts 77a, 78a in the relative rotational position which they assume when the drive gears 79a, 80a are in the axial position on the splined portions 76a, 78a which is shown at the top of Fig. 8.
- Fig. 10 shows the valve 50 at the instant when it starts to open, the cam shafts 77a, 78a being at the relative rotational position which they assume when the drive gears 79a, 80a are in the position on the spline portions 86a, 87a which is shown at the bottom of Fig. 8.
- the inter- mediate means 83a, 83b each consists of a plate, which on its side facing the valve opener 84a, 84b is provided with a projection 89a, 89b.
- the projection 89a, 89b is semicylindrical and fits into a corresponding cavity 90a, 90b in the valve opener 84a, 84b.
- the axis of the semi- cylindrical projections 89a, 89b of the intermediate means 83a, 83b and of the semicylindrical cavities 90a, 90b of the valve openers 84a, 84b extend essentially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the 77a, 78a and 77b, 77b, respectively.
- intermediate means 83a, 83b will function as two-armed levels and can swing about their connection with the valve openers 84a, 84b in planes which are perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the cam shafts 77a, 78a, 77b, 78b.
- the cam means 81a, 82a on the cam shafts 77a, 78a each interact with an individual arm on the intermediate means 83a. It is suitable that the centre of the semicylindrical pro ⁇ jection 89a on the intermediate means 83a be located at or in the vicinity of the surface of the intermediate means 83a which interacts with the cam means 81a, 82a. This of course also applies to the valve 85 and associated components.
- Fig. 9 shows, for example, that the valve 50 or 85, respectively, is opened rapidly, i.e. with high acceleration.
- the open time of each valve 50 and 85 is in this case relatively short, due to the fact that the two cam means 81a, 82a and 81b, 82b, respectively, work in parallel, i.e. their rotational positions are identical.
- This means that the intermediate means 83a, 83b will not move pivotally relative to the valve opener 84a, 84b but function as a rigid intermediate means.
- valve mechanism 14 A more detailed description of the valve mechanism 14 is provided in the co-pending patent application with the title "Process and device for actuating a valve”.
- Control of the position of the shell 43 is done with the aid of the regulator means 25, which is controlled by the control unit 23.
- the position of the shell 43 is thus determined as a function of the engine rpm, which is sensed by the sensor 27, the position of the accelerator pedal 29, which is sensed by the sensor 28, and the state of the air in the intake system 5, which is sensed by the sensor 31. Furthermore, the position of the shell 43 is dependent on the state of the ambient air, which is sensed by the sensor 30.
- the signals from all of the sensors and regulator means are processed by the control unit 23, which then sends a signal to the regulator means 25 to set the shell 43.
- the control unit 23 uses the informa ⁇ tion from the sensors and regulator means to compute a setting for the regulator means 24, which, as was de ⁇ scribed above, provides a setting for the displacement device 13, so that the adjustment discs 51, 52 and 53 are turned to a specific angular position.
- a specific com ⁇ pression ratio is thereby set for each cylinder 45 by the setting of the upper end position of the piston 46.
- the compression ratio is thereby determined by means of the control unit 23 relative to the air flow into the intake system 5 by the air intake unit 7, so that the current air requirement of the engine is precisely ful ⁇ filled.
- Fig. 11 shows a PV-diagram for an engine according to the invention.
- the curve 91 represents operation at a high engine compression ratio, while the curve 92 represents operation at a low compression ratio.
- the curve 91 re ⁇ presents work with a small amount of air which is supplied by means of the air charging unit 7, while the curve 92 represents work with a large amount of air supply.
- This is shown by the arrows 93 and 94, respect- ively, which indicate the volume of the amount of air prior to compression in the air charging unit 7.
- the line 95 represents normal atmospheric pressure.
- the dashed line 95a represents higher air pressure and the dash-dot line 95b represents lower air pressure.
- the air charging unit 7 changes the amount of air fed into the engine to that indicated by the arrows 93a, 94a, and 93b, 94b, respectively.
- the line 96 indicates the pressure achieved in the combustion chamber 48 at the end of the compression stroke, while the line 97 indicates the combustion pressure.
- the arrows 98 and 98a respect ⁇ ively, indicate the swept volume, i.e. the volume which the piston 48 displaces during one stroke. This volume is of course also independent of the prevailing compression ratio in the engine.
- Fig. 11 also shows a curve 100 representing the lower end position of the piston 46, and a curve 101 representing the upper end position of the piston 46.
- Fig. 11 also shows a curve 102 representing the conditions in the intake duct 49 of the engine. The distance between the curves 102 and 100 is a measure of the volumetric efficiency of the engine. If the volumetric efficiency were 100%, the curves 102 and 100 would coincide.
- the regulator means 26 it is possible, as was indicated above, to alter the opening and closing times for the valves 50 and 85.
- This can be utilized at low engine rpm, so that the control unit 23 moves the yoke 88 and thus the drive gears 79 and 80 to obtain rapid opening and closing of the valves 50 and 85, respectively, and this improves the flow conditions through the valves and thus the gas exchange in the combustion chamber 48.
- the regulator means can displace the yoke 88 and thus the drive gears 79 and 80, so that the opening and closing of the valves 50 and 85, respectively, is effected more slowly, thereby avoiding overloading the components in the valve mechanism 14.
- the control unit 23 can also forcibly limit the opening and closing times of the valves 50 and 85, when the engine 1 is operating at a very high compression ratio.
- the compression volume i.e. the volume of the combustion chamber 48 at the upper end position of the piston 46 will be very small. This means that the piston 46 will be very close to the valves 50 and 85, and therefore these must be closed when the piston 46 is at its upper end position close to said valves.
- the so- called overlap i.e. the time during which both the intake valve and the exhaust valve are completely or partially open at the end of the exhaust stroke must be severely limited or eliminated.
